AHhhh CHRISTMAS is coming!!!!!! Best time of the year! But I haven't done my Christmas shopping hehe! I'm so gonna feast my heart out for the next few days! And thank God! My dad just bought me a Canon digicam as a Christmas gift! Shiokness~~ Just in time to take a lot a lot of pics hahaha.. Can zi lian once in a while~ Hee!

Hmmmmmm... but as I grow older and start to think more.. I find something pretty ironic.. It seems like the whole nation is celebrating this festival. But do they actually know the origin or meaning of Christmas.. As the name suggests, Christmas is all about Jesus CHRIST and on this day 2005 years ago.. He was born. and the whole earth rejoices! =) But now the significance of Christmas is so diluted, it seems as if it's just another joyous occasion. It's almost equivalent to celebrating Chinese New Year not knowing it was originated from the chinese.. (ya it seems so exaggerated but think about it for a moment..) I learnt last week that during this time of the year, it's when the northern hemisphere is the darkest and gloomiest.. and there's almost nothing to be happy about. Yet God used this time to send His only Son to light up the world. There is now a ray of hope, a glimpse of light for the people living in darkness. Ya this is Christmas.
